Hondaracer logic: Lu is da best goalie in da world. I hope da canuckz fail wit da schneider. I fuck mad bitches hotter den dat dere paulina gretzky. I think dat dere luongo is da god. I think dat luongo should succeed before dem canuckz. Manny malholtra iz da devil and he suckz. I play high level beer league hockey so my logic iz better den urz!!!
Canucks go off the board with their second rounder, Alexandre Mallet. Passed over the past 2 drafts but had a breakout season with Rimouski - 81 points in 68 games, 25 points in 21 playoff games. He's 6"1, 195lbs and a mix of skill, grit and decent size. He's a centreman, though some sites list him as a winger as well.
Canucks take D Ben Hutton in the 5th round out of the CCHL (Junior A).
Quote:
“He’s the best defenseman in our league, by far. He’s like a man among boys out there,” said Kemptville coach and general manager Pat Malloy. “He oozes with pro potential. His skill level is so high.”
“He’s big and his puck skills and hands are off the charts,” added Malloy. “He’s a one-man forecheck breaker, he has a good shot and he’s an above-average skater. He plays 35 minutes a game and plays important minutes against the other team’s top line.”
I never get excited about this stuff anymore, we never do anything crazy or cool................. Luongo's still here and no word on Schultz. See ya in September guys! LOL... I always feel like the Canucks are so lame duck on these kind of days.......
BTW playing a tandem goalie position where both goalies are elite goalies is STUPID, why pay 2 players that kind of money when only 1 of them can be on the ice at any given time? You're not realizing your assets properly in that case and it's so much damn drama every time one of them starts over another.
Because having 8 mill wrapped up in two good goalies regardless of one being on the bench gets you more points than an 8 mill skater like a richards, lecavlier, ovi, etc

FLA and TOR likely 2 most interested teams in Luongo but believe price is too steep. VAN says things are progressing but seem in no rush.

Just a hunch, but I would suspect Corey Schneider will sign new deal BEFORE any Luongo deal is done. Schneider negotiations ongoing.

PHX D Keith Yandle was most certainly in play for trade, steep asking price, now looks as tho PHX has pulled him back...for now anyway.

Negotiations between WPG and Ondrej Pavelec will resume now that draft is over. Getting down to the nitty gritty now. Pavelec has KHL offer.

Teams interested in Rick Nash say asking price remains high and there's no sense out of CBJ anything is imminent. Likely to be post-July 1.
